The North Carolina-style hot dog features a bright red beef-and-pork frank topped with mustard, beef chili, diced onions, and coleslaw, creating a hearty meal.
Unlike Texas-style chili, the North Carolina hot dog’s chili resembles a meat sauce seasoned simply with ketchup, mustard, vinegar, and chili powder.
The coleslaw used is a blend of green cabbage, mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, salt, and pepper, providing a tangy, creamy contrast to the hot dog.
Though not attributed to a specific inventor, the North Carolina hot dog gained popularity in the 1950s and '60s, reminiscent of regional BBQ traditions.
